Is 32GB Ram Enough For Future ?

[Sabir]

Is 32GB DDR4 Ram enough for last 6 years or more?

Should i buy like 8x4= 32GB ?

Or should i buy like 16x2=32GB ?

If i buy like 16x2= 32GB another 2 slot will be available for upgrade in the future. So i can have 64 GB in future by adding another 16x2=32GB . And if i buy like 8x4=32GB so i can't able to upgrade in the future because there is no slot available for upgrade.  But other fact is in 5 or 6 years DDR5 Ram will be available. So which option should i get. 

1) 16x2=32GB DDR4

2) 8x4=32GB DDR4

And how much MHz is great for gaming fps or for fast speed? 2333, 2400, 3000, 3200 or more? Which one should i get? Which brand Ram is solid build and high quality? 

Thanks in Advance

32GB is overkill for the coming 6 years. when gaming i rarely use over 8. i swear, 16Gb of my 32GB kit hasn't ever been used properly! even when rendering, my projects are small enough to fit on 16. 

 

what CPU are you using with this? i know Ryzen benefits from high clocked RAM, but Intel's stuff really isn;t that picky.

Dude, another thread about ram? I told you to get 2x8GB of ram last time as 16GB is more than enough for just gaming.

[whoisit1118]

Sure, 32GB is more than enough for the next 6 years, but RAM prices are so overpriced right now that you would be much better off just buying 16GB for now and then buying another 16GB when you need it after RAM prices drop back to the norm. Also, DDR5 will be in use by then so ^_^,,

Yeah I would totally tell what he needs in the upcoming 6 years, because we do have that knowledge.

We can only make assumptions, my sarcasm would say enough that this isn't really a question.

 

Let me get my timemachine.

If you dont' have anything meaningful to say or add to the thread, like momma always said... don't say ANYTHING.

I am going to buy i7 8700k and Gtx 1080 ti.

Idk what your momma says, but seems like you working against her rules too.

Well go ahead and predict the future my man! i have great confidence that you can!

It was a meaningful answer even if you didn't see it as such.

 

The answer, drenched in sarcasm, was simply this:
"We don't know and might not even have a way to know how things will be that far down the line. So maybe don't worry about it right now".

 

As for my two cents: I have 32Gb of system RAM right now and I have no idea what I'm going to do with it all.

I bought that 4x8 kit just for the looks, not for any practical reason.

 

If you're asking about performance, just get 16Gb now. If you have the possibility to add two more DIMMs later, then all the better.

Which brand is best ? And how much mhz is great for gaming fps or fast speed?

RAM speed has so little impact on gaming performance that it's not worth even thinking about.

Unless you're running an APU or something, it's really not worth thinking about too much.

And if you are running an APU instead of a discrete graphics card, then "gaming performance" is clearly not a priority.

 

Just pick up what's in your price range and turn on the XMP profile when you get it into your rig.

XMP profile is it in bios ? You mean about overclock? 

[PrimeSonic]

The XMP profile is part of the RAM itself.

It's a setting you enable on your motherboard BIOS.

 

It's a sort of manufacturer rated overclock for the RAM. So it's been validated to run at the advertised speeds, even if those speeds are technically an overclock by DDR4 standards.

"RAM speed does not matter" is assuming you are not on Threadripper/Ryzen platform. Anyway, if you buy a overclocked RAM(anything over 2133) you need to enable something called XMP profile(default overclock profile set by manufacturer for RAM) for RAM to run at its full rated speed. Brand really does not matter, RAM speed is what really matters. Perhaps go for RGB RAM if you care about aesthetics.

unless your doing, photo and video editing, rendering, and stuff in that nature yeah 32gb would be more then enough if you are doing those things its a solid maybe imo.

I will definitely buy rgb ram . I will buy G.skill Trident z rgb 3200mhz.

I am currently watching this guide right now. XMP .

That's why I told you to get 2x8GB sticks then grab another 2x8GB sticks when you think you need more ram...
